Serverside task schedule

So I’m fairly adept at web design on the frontend, but I’m new to the back end side of things. From what I’m understanding, PHP communicates with the server and not necessarily the client.

What I’m trying to accomplish is a PHP scheduler that runs python scripts at a given time. If I’m not mistaken, simply putting a PHP code to run python at noon will only work if a client has the php loaded. Is there a way to do this without a client loaded? As in a ‘server only php’ or a setting that will load a PHP file. I’m not looking for a cron solution, preferably PHP.

Any information/rabbit hole helps Thanks!
